GEN. M. G. BUTLER THE
CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
We see that it is probable that
Judge C. H. Simonton, United
States circuit judge, owing to con
tinued ill health, will soon resign
his position as judge, and that
Senator McLaurin, who doubtloss
j has been shaping his ends and
dropping in his votesthat way, is
in anxious expectancy of the ap
pointment. But we hope he will
be disappointed. Not that we
have anything very particular
agaiust "our curly headed John
nie," only we think his Republi
can and McKinleyism proclivities
of late will debar him from posing
as a thoroughbred straightout
Democrat-the onlv kind of a
KS*'* * ' '
Democrat we South Caroliuiaus
>_ -
desire to represent us in the-United
States Senate, or elsewhere. But
because we have ? better man, in
every way-judicially, civilly, po
litically-in the person of Gen. M.
C. Butler. A man true and brave
and meritorious. And a mau every
South Carolinian would be proud
to have appoi?ted to the circuit
judgeship when vacated by Judge
Simonton. By all meaos let it be
Judge Butler.
IT IS SAID THAT "EVERY
MAX L? AS HIS PRICE."
And verily it looks that way
after reading what the Columbia
correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel says, here
to appended :
"As a result of Senator McLau
rin's faithful adherence to thc
McKinley administration it is lie
lieved by many here that he will
be rewarded for such fidelity with
the appointment to the judgeship
of4the Fourth United States circuit
to succeed Judge C. H. Simonton,
who will probably be retired from
ano. l'?tV: us wm pruuavij ?JV>?V?
"?ain bo ^stored to his former
-health. Then, too, bis uoinu lias
lonst some of its power and vigor,
due -.itirely to excessive and ar
duous judicial duties, and under
these circumstances it is believed
that Judge Simon ton will be retired
and that Senator McLauriu yiU
be named as hi3 successor.
Senator McLaurin hes b?en se
verely criticised by the press of
this State for the sudden change
of his position on th3 question of
ratifying tho treaty of Paris. Then
there are other matters of moire or
less importance in which the 'ju
nior senator from this State has
apparently been aggressive in be
half of Republican interests. It
is claimed that on two occasions
the senator was the medium which
the McKinley administration ef
fected its salvation and for this
the president will give grateful ac
knowledgment in the appointment
of Senator McLauriu to the circuit
judgeship. Of, course there is no
absolute proof or positive evidence
of any such deal or return of fa
vors, but those wh ) know the sen
ator do not hesitate to express such
an opinion.
It will be recalled that during
the past summer, when efforts were
being made to raise the Second
South Carolina regiment, Senator
McLaurin was very assiduous m
the matter and made several trips
to Washinglou on such mission.
On one occasion when ho succeed
ed in getting the president to make
certain liberal concessions by
which the regiment could be raised.
Senator'McLaurin, in what many
believed to be a moment of. eJrTer
vescent enthusiasm, made the
. statement that President McKin
ley was the most popular man in
America, and that he (the senator)
was in favor of his renomination
for tho presidency by acclamation.
In view of what has recently trans
pired it is now believed that Sen
ator McLaurin was only giving
vent to his true feelings, as his
political proclivities are now re
garded as being of a most decided
Republican nature. However,
.whatever may be the true political
doctrine of the man will probably
?pmain in douDt. The most inter
esting question now is concerning
the senator's probable appoint
ment as United States circuit
judge tb succeed Judge Simon ton
who, it is believed, will soon be
retired, ai.d the public Will anx
iously await further developments

The Newberry Observer says:
?'Quite a number of farmers in the
Pomaria section will plant largely
in upland rice this year. Good re
sults have been obtained from up
land rice. One farmer near Peake
made $80 on one acre last season.
Let the farmers diversify as much
as possible. They are getting on
the right line."
On the Pelzer place, near Cen
tral, S. C., on the morning of the
22nd, at the breakfast table, Nick
Mansion, colored, ag^d 13, and his
sister Silvia, 16, began a quarrel.
Ni^1 lided the quarrel by shoot
ing Sylvia through the brain.
Death was instantaneous. The
murderer is under arrest and the in
quest is now in progress.
The Greenville News says: "It
is lo be hoped that our people will
respond liberally to the call for
contributions for a medal to be
presented to Lieutenant Blue. For
all the honor our State had in the
late war we are indebted to him
personally. He had the opportu
nity and used it splendidly. The
people of his State should provo
their appreciation."
A great many people in Maine
and Kansas, the only states that
still cling to prohibition, are in
favor of re-submission of the ques
tion, but it is not likely to succeed,
because, prohibition, as it works
to-day, is entirely satisfactor}' to
the tipplers and teetotalers. Ex
Senator Ingalls gives the whys and
the wherefores. '"The prohibition
ists have their prohibition," he
says, "and the whiskey men have
their whiskey, and there is no gre at
kick coming to either." Prohibi
tion prevails in rural district?
where liquor was never sold. It is
effecti/e there. In towns and
cities the saloons run openly or
with very thin disguise. Every
body is suited.

I Stewart. She sent for her hus
band, wno, on arriving, indignant
ly refused to permit the seach.
The constables stated that they
had been informed that he had
been selling contrary to the law
and the}- were determined to make
the search. Words followed and
finally, upon Stuart cursing Con
stable Crawford, the latter slapped
him. Stuart ran into the house.
His wife had come out on the
piazza. From the doorway Stuart
opened fire on the constables.
Crawford returned it and shot
Mrs. Stuart just below the heart.
The woman was dangerously
wounded, but not killed. She is
now lying in a critical condition
at the city hospital. Stuart was
also badly shot in the mouth, his
tongue being nearly severed. In
the fusilade that followed Consta
ble Crawford was shot through the
left wrist.
The sheriff and several police
men arrested the constables and
carried them to a magistrate's
office. The news of the shooting
spread all over the city, and soon
400 or 500 infuriated men were in
front of the office, making a big
demonstration. The constables
were kept prisoners in the magis
tfate's office all night, guarded by
the sheriff and his deputies. The
two local militia companies were
ordered out and kept the crowd
pressed back.
At 5 o'clock Sunday morning the
prisoners, under guard of mem
bers of the militia companies, and
the sheriff and his deputies, were
lodged in the penitentiary for safe
keeping.
W. R. Crawford waa appointed
a constable under Gov. Tillman
when the dispensary law was first
passed. Since then he has 'been
made a chief and has worked prin
cipally in the upper section of the
State. This is the thircf affair of
the kind that he has taken part in
since he was first commissioned a
constable.
He was with the party that kill
ed John Sims in Spartanburg throe
years ago, but was not convicted.
He was also- with the constable's
who killed a negro in Greenville
county for violating the dispensary
law.
J. C. Dorn hag been a constable
since October. Prior to that time
he had been chief wagoner for the
State dispensary.
J. B. Coleman is from Saluda
county and has been in the con
stabulary service since June.
B. J. Cooley is an ex-private ol
the First South Carolina regiment
and has not yet been commission
ed, though he expected to be ap
pointed in a few days.

Timely Advice from G^n. Waal
ington's Farewell Audress.
-At Washington, on the 22nd (
February, 1899, iu the Unite
States Senate, in commemoratio
of the birth--1 .. of Gen. Washinj
ton. Senator .?olcott, of Colorad
read to the senators the farewe
address of President Washingtoi
dated Sept. 19tb, 1796-over OE
hundred 3rears as;o. Doubtless
would be well were our rulers an
statesmen to pay some attentio
to the wise admonition of "Fattie
If ashiugton" a century ago. Froi
his farewell address we cull th
following :
The great rule of conduct for u
in regard to foreign nations i
in extending our c'ommercia
relations, to have with them a

Europe has a set of priman
interests which lo us have none o
a very remote reiatiou. Henc
she must be engaged in frequen
controvesies, the causes of whicl
are essentially foreign . to ou
concerns. Hence, therefor^, i
must be unwise in us to implicate
ourselves by ariificial ties in thi
ordinary vicissitudes of her poli
tics or the ordinary combinationi
and collisions cf her friendshipi
or enmities.
Our detached and distant situa
tion invites and enables us to pur
sue a different' course. If we
remain one people, under ai
efficient government, the period ii
not far off when we may defy
material injury from externa
annoyance; when we may take
such an attitude as will cause the
neutrality we may at any time re
solve upon to be scrupulous'}
respected; when belligerent na
tious, under the impossibility ol
making acquisitions upon us, will
not legally hazard *he giving us
provocation ; when we may choose
peace or war, as our interest, guided
by justice, shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages ol
so peculiar a situation? Why quit
our owu to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by interweaving

my opinion it is unnecessary an

Taking care always to kee

keeping iu view that it is folly in
one nation to look for disinterested
favors f J om another ; that it must
pay with a portion of its in
dependence for whatever it may
accept under that character; that
by such acceptance it may place
itself iu the condition of haviug
given equivalents for nominal
favors, and yet of being reproached
with ingratitude for not giving
more. There can be no greater
error than to expect or calculate
upon real favor? from nation to
nation, lt is an iJluiion which
experience must cure, which a just
pride ought to discard.
In offering to you, my country
men, these counsels of an old and
affectionate friend I dare not hope
they will make the strong and
lasting impression I could wish
